A nursing instructor supervises a student nurse who is administering an intramuscular analgesic medication to a school-age child. The nursing instructor intervenes when the student nurse tells the child:
1. My injections don't hurt.
2. This will only hurt for a little while.
3. This will feel like a prick and will hurt a little.
4. This medication will help take your pain away.
Question 2
An instructor is teaching students the importance of understanding the changes brought about by aging that are not indicative of disease. The instructor points out that additional instruction is required when a student says:
1. Men and women will no longer have a need for sexual intimacy.
2. Blood flow and oxygen use in the brain will decrease.
3. There will be a decrease in bone density.
4. Bladder capacity will decrease because of loss of muscle tone.
